RotateFlip()

[Zcumbag]

Hi

I get the following exception when I try to RotateFlip(RotateFlipType.Rotate180FlipX) my System.Drawing.Imaging.Metafile

An unhandled exception of type 'System.NotImplementedException' occurred in system.drawing.dll

Additional information: Not implemented.

this is the code

        Dim pic As New System.Drawing.Bitmap(500, 500, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb)
        Dim gr As System.Drawing.Graphics = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(pic)

        Dim hDC As IntPtr = gr.GetHdc()
        Dim m As System.Drawing.Imaging.Metafile = New System.Drawing.Imaging.Metafile(strPicName & "." & strPicFormat, hDC)

        gr.DrawLine(Pens.Blue, 10, 10, 100, 100)
        m.RotateFlip(RotateFlipType.Rotate180FlipX)

If it's not implemented... why the #&¤% is it in the framework?!?

it works fine to rotate the System.Drawing.Bitmap?

does anyone have a solution to this?

thanks lunatic but I really need to flip it as well...

again it works with Bitmap but not with Metafile

Here is a example I made that is on my website. Just change the flip/rotate type to whatever you want to do.

as a note, their is alot that does not work like it should in System.Drawing. MS doesnt seem to keen on fixing it either.
